Ep 207. Is Europe's 80-Year Order Finally Collapsing?

A great power battle is emerging between Russia, China and Washington… and Europe teeters on the edge of all three. Could this break up the union? And is the European reliance on America over?To find out, Jason is joined by author and Director of the Moynihan Center of European Studies at Syracuse University, Glyn Morgan. His latest book The Rise and Fall of American Europe charts the rise and fall of the 80-year history of what he calls American Europe. Jason and Glyn discuss how this system emerged off the back of Roosevelt's plans to dismantle both fascism and British imperial power, why it delivered decades of European prosperity, and why that’s now under threat.Plus: European complacency on defence, Macron's failed warnings, and - as they Order the Disorder - Glyn imagines a future where Europe works together for defense, with Britain’s role as a guardian of the Atlantic Sea. To get an extended version of the episode, join the Mega Orderers Club at disordershow.com/clubProducer: Sam CluleySubscribe to our Substack - https://natoandtheged.substack.com/Disorder on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@DisorderShowShownotes:Get The Rise and Fall of American Europe by Glyn Morganhttps://www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?book_slug=the-rise-and-fall-of-american-europe--9781509573202For more on Glyn visit his Syracuse University faculty pagehttps://www.maxwell.syr.edu/directory/glyn-morganFor more on our partnership with the New Books Networkhttps://newbooksnetwork.com/category/up-partners/disorderAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
